Ukraine has depleted its missile reserves for most air defense systems, including the US-made Patriot system and the German Iris-T systems, as highlighted by military experts Bilda Julian Ropke and open data analyst Röpke. In response, Ukraine has identified a need for 25 Patriot systems to fully protect itself from Russian missile attacks, pinpointing 100 systems its allies could spare, specifically seeking seven, not 70 out of the 100. Despite active negotiations with donor countries for two Patriot batteries and one SAMP/T battery, as stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba, European nations have largely rebuffed Kyiv's requests. However, Germany has committed to providing an additional MIM-104 Patriot SAM battery to Ukraine, with delivery to commence immediately. Kuleba mentioned that deliveries could occur in "a matter of weeks" and identified Poland and Spain for Patriots and Romania for the SAMP/T as countries involved in talks.
